Hallo Andreas!
Goldig, dieses Kerlchen - den verdienten Lohn vor Augen. Schön, dass Du hier so nahe heran gegangen bist - man ist richtig "dabei". Eine richtige kleine Serie zum schmunzeln.
Grüße aus Siegen, wo es seit Stunden schneit. Fast beängstigend - aber schön!

Nice combination of portrait and action shot! The close in view of the boy gives us a real intimate look at him, but you have also given us some action, and you have frozen it well, so we can see things clearly. I like the out of focus areas in the background too. Well done!

Hello Andreas,

I like very much this one. A very beautiful portrait.Superb color and excellent light.
Good evening,
Roger

Hi Andreas,
funny picture, and carried out well. I like the fact we don't know where the cookie hangs from plus the boy's power rangers t-shirt...it adds to the general feeling of childplay. Well done.
yours,
Philippe

a sweet daily life scene from that small village... well captured moment with a nice dof... good job as always leo... cheers...

Hallo Andreas,
That's a funny POV with excellent dynamics, good colors and great sharpness.
Cheers
Marc

Hello Andreas,
You should have added the "Decisive Moment" theme to your photo. I can really feel his excitement and anticipitation for trying to catch this cookie with his mouth. Low-tech fun always wins over high-tech gadgets for kids this age. This is a fabulous travel photograph and I love the way that you really absorb yourself in the cultures that you visit. Superb!
